I know some people do, but my sister has been so very important in my life. Even though I’m the big sister, she’s the one I go to. She has a lot more common sense and sensible advice than I was ever blessed with!She has helped me through so many ups and downs. She has always been there for me .We don’t always let family know how very much they are appreciated!

But I love you Beth! Hope this is your best birthday ever!

From this crazy side of the family ( and yes, we are) best birthday wishes are sent!!

She’s sick of winter, like the rest of us here. She normally rides along in the morning when I take my son to work. He has to sit in the back, of course, she sits up front with me! Today I put my jacket on and looked at her. She had curled up on the couch. She just looked at me and snuggled down in. I jingled my keys..nothing.

Now I didn’t want to go out in the cold either!

I’m not sure, but I think I may have been totally disrespected.

Poor old girl!

The winter chill is a lot worse this year and I know it bothers me more every year.

We can all learn so much from dogs. After I came home, I took her advice and snuggled in with her!

I spent my Saturday at a vendor show, sitting in the sun. It was at a huge pet store in the area to benefit Furever Adoptions.

We had a great time selling jerky and watching all the excitement!

We really did quite well, and I always enjoy meeting other vendors and shoppers. Sometimes, I think it might help deal with my depression by getting out of my comfort zone! It really was a beautiful day.

Sometimes when I travel the same routes, I don’t really pay too much attention to my surroundings. I recently noticed an adorable sight in a town right across the river in Hellam PA

Yep, It’s a cute teapot on a tree stump! Behind it is a victorian home. It’s called The Front Porch Tearoom. They serve high tea, and special events around Valentines Day. I think the cutest events must be The Fairy Princess Tea and The Daddy and Daughter Tea.

It just shows how interesting the sights are when we pay attention. I’m hoping to make reservations for high tea soon!

..My sister has a new addition to her family. His name is Waldo ( yes, I’ve done a million where’s Waldo jokes.) He is so very sweet and lovable. We were told he’s about 5 years old. Her other baby, Cocoa, wasn’t to happy at first, but they’ve become fast friends.

They just love chasing each other around the yard.They were my latest customers at WWW.MargeM.JerkyDirect.com. They both enjoyed the all natural jerky treats.
